AMAVIS-LOGWATCH(1)                                          AMAVIS-LOGWATCH(1)



NAME
       amavis-logwatch - An Amavisd-new log parser and analysis utility

SYNOPSIS
       amavis-logwatch [options] [logfile ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  amavis-logwatch(1)  utility is an Amavisd-new log parser that pro-
       duces summaries, details, and statistics  regarding  the  operation  of
       Amavisd-new (henceforth, simply called Amavis).

       This utility can be used as a standalone program, or as a Logwatch fil-
       ter module to produce Amavisd-new summary  and  detailed  reports  from
       within Logwatch.

       Amavis-logwatch  is  able  to produce a wide range of reports with data
       grouped and sorted as much as possible to reduce  noise  and  highlight
       patterns.   Brief  summary  reports provide a quick overview of general
       Amavis operations and message delivery, calling out warnings  that  may
       require  attention.   Detailed reports provide easy to scan, hierarchi-
       cally-arranged and organized information, with as much or little detail
       as desired.

       Much  of  the  interesting data is available when Amavis' $log_level is
       set to at least 2.  See Amavis Log Level below.

       Amavis-logwatch outputs two principal sections: a Summary section and a
       Detailed section.  For readability and quick scanning, all event or hit
       counts appear in the left column, followed by brief description of  the
       event  type, and finally additional statistics or count representations
       may appear in the rightmost column.

       The following segment from a sample Summary report illustrates:

       The report indicates there were 9 general warnings, and Amavis  scanned
       a  total  of  20313  messages  for  a  total  of  1008.53  megabytes or
       1,057,524,252 bytes.  The next  summary  groups  shows  the  Blocked  /
       Passed overview, with 1190 Blocked messages (broken down as 18 messages
       blocked as malware, 4 messages with banned names,  416  spam  messages,
       and  752  discarded  messages),  and 19123 Passed messages (47 messages
       with bad headers and 19076 clean messages).

       The next (optional) summary grouping shows message disposition by  con-
       tents  category.  There were 18 malware messages and 4 banned file mes-
       sages (all blocked), 1168 Spam messages,  of  which  416  were  blocked
       (quarantined)  and  752  discarded.  Finally, there were 19123 messages
       consdidered to be Ham (i.e. not spam), 47 of which contained bad  head-
       ers.

       Additional count summaries for a variety of events are also listed.

       There are dozens of sub-sections available in the Detailed report, each
       of whose output can be controlled in various  ways.   Each  sub-section
       attempts to group and present the most meaningful data at superior lev-
       els, while pushing less useful or noisy data towards  inferior  levels.
       The  goal is to provide as much benefit as possible from smart grouping
       of data, to allow faster report scanning, pattern  identification,  and
       problem  solving.   Data is always sorted in descending order by count,
       and then numerically by IP address or alphabetically as appropriate.

       The following Spam blocked segment from a sample Detailed report illus-
       trates the basic hierarchical level structure of amavis-logwatch:

           ****** Detailed *******************************************

              19346   Spam blocked -----------------------------------
                756      from@example.com
                 12         10.0.0.2

                ...


       The  amavis-logwatch  utility reads from STDIN or from the named Amavis
       logfile.  Multiple logfile arguments may be specified,  each  processed
       in  order.   The user running amavis-logwatch must have read permission
       on each named log file.

   Options
       The options listed  below  affect  the  operation  of  amavis-logwatch.
       Options specified later on the command line override earlier ones.  Any
       option may be abbreviated to an unambiguous length.


       --[no]autolearn
       --show_autolearn boolean
              Enables (disables) output of the autolearn report.  This  report
              is only available if the default Amavis $log_templ has been mod-
              ified to provide autolearn results in log entries.  This can  be
              done  by  uncommenting  two  lines  in the Amavis program itself
              (where the default log templates reside), or by correctly adding
              the  $log_templ  variable to the amavisd.conf file.  See Amavis'
              README.customize and search near the end of the Amavisd  program
              for "autolearn".

       --[no]by_ccat_summary
       --show_by_ccat_summary boolean
              Enables  (disables) the by contents category summary in the Sum-
              mary section.  Default: enabled.

       -f config_file
       --config_file config_file
              Use an alternate configuration file config_file instead  of  the
              default.  This option may be used more than once.  Multiple con-
              figuration files will be processed in the order presented on the
              command line.  See CONFIGURATION FILE below.

       --debug keywords
              Output  debug  information  during  the operation of amavis-log-
              watch.  The parameter keywords is one or  more  comma  or  space
              separated  keywords.   To obtain the list of valid keywords, use
              --debug xxx where xxx is any invalid keyword.

       --detail level
              Sets the maximum detail  level  for  amavis-logwatch  to  level.
              This  option  is  global,  overriding  any other output limiters
              described below.

              The  amavis-logwatch  utility  produces  a  Summary  section,  a
              Detailed  section,  and  additional report sections.  With level
              less than 5, amavis-logwatch will produce only the Summary  sec-
              tion.  At level 5 and above, the Detailed section, and any addi-
              tional report sections are candidates for output.   Each  incre-
              mental  increase  in level generates one additional hierarchical
              sub-level of output in the Detailed section of the  report.   At
              level  10, all levels are output.  Lines that exceed the maximum
              report width (specified  with  max_report_width)  will  be  cut.
              Setting  level to 11 will prevent lines in the report from being
              cut (see also --line_style).

       --[no]first_recip_only
       --show_first_recip_only boolean
              Specifies whether or not to sort by, and show,  only  the  first
              recipient when a scanned messages contains multiple recipients.

       --help Print  usage  information  and a brief description about command
              line options.

       --ipaddr_width width
              Specifies that IP addresses in address/hostname pairs should  be
              printed  with a field width of width characters.  Increasing the
              default may be useful for systems using long IPv6 addresses.

       -l limiter=levelspec
       --limit limiter=levelspec
              Sets the level limiter limiter with the specification levelspec.

       --line_style style
              Specifies how to handle long report  lines.   Three  styles  are
              available: full, truncate, and wrap.  Setting style to full will
              prevent cutting lines to max_report_width; this is  what  occurs
              when  detail  is  11  or  higher.   When  style is truncate (the
              default),  long   lines   will   be   truncated   according   to
              max_report_width.   Setting style to wrap will wrap lines longer
              than max_report_width such that left column hit counts  are  not
              obscured.   This  option  takes  precedence  over the line style
              implied by the detail level.  The  options  --full,  --truncate,
              and --wrap are synonyms.


       --nodetail
              Disables  the Detailed section of the report, and all supplemen-
              tal reports.  This option provides  a  convenient  mechanism  to
              quickly  disable  all  sections under the Detailed report, where
              subsequent command line options may re-enable one or  more  sec-
              tions to create specific reports.

       --sarules `S,H'
       --sarules default
              Enables  the SpamAssassin Rules Hit report.  The comma-separated
              S and H arguments are top N values for the Spam and Ham reports,
              respectively, and can be any integer greater than or equal to 0,
              or the keyword all.   The  keyword  default  uses  the  built-in
              default values.

       --nosarules
              Disables the SpamAssassin Rules Hit report.

       --sa_timings nrows
              Enables the SpamAssassin Timings percentiles report.  The report
              can be limited to the top N rows with the nrows argument.   This
              report requires Amavis 2.6+ and SpamAssassin 3.3+.

       --sa_timings_percentiles `P1 [P2 ...]'
              Specifies  the  percentiles  shown  in  the SpamAssassin Timings
              report.  The arguments P1 ... are integers from 0 to 100  inclu-
              sive.  Their order will be preserved in the report.

       --nosa_timings
              Disables the SpamAssassin Timings report.

       --version
              Print amavis-logwatch version information.

       --score_frequencies `B1 [B2 ...]'
       --score_frequencies default
              Enables  the  Spam Score Frequency report.  The arguments B1 ...
              are frequency distribution buckets, and can be any real numbers.
              Their  order  will  be  preserved  in  the  report.  The keyword
              default uses the built-in default values.

       --noscore_frequencies
              Disables the Spam Score Frequency report.

       --score_percentiles `P1 [P2 ...]'
       --score_percentiles default
              Enables the Spam Score Percentiles report.  The arguments P1 ...
              specify  the  percentiles  shown in the report, and are integers
              from 0 to 100 inclusive.  The keyword default uses the  built-in
              default values.

       --noscore_percentiles
              Disables the Spam Score Percentiles report.


       --[no]sect_vars
       --show_sect_vars boolean
              Enables  (disables)  supplementing  each  Detailed section title
              with the name of that section's level limiter.   The  name  dis-
              played  is  the command line option (or configuration file vari-
              able) used to limit that section's output.  With the large  num-
              ber  of level limiters available in amavis-logwatch, this a con-
              venient mechanism for determining exactly  which  level  limiter
              affects a section.

       --[no]startinfo
       --show_startinfo boolean
              Enables (disables) the Amavis startup report showing most recent
              Amavis startup details.

       --[no]summary

       --show_summary
              Enables (disables) displaying of the the Summary section of  the
              report.   The variable Amavis_Show_Summary in used in a configu-
              ration file.

       --syslog_name namepat
              Specifies the syslog service name that amavis-logwatch  uses  to
              match  syslog  lines.  Only log lines whose service name matches
              the perl regular expression namepat will be used by  amavis-log-
              watch;  all  non-matching  lines  are silently ignored.  This is
              useful when a pre-installed Amavis package  uses  a  name  other
              than the default (amavis).

              Note: if you use parenthesis in your regular expression, be sure
              they are cloistering and not capturing: use  (?:pattern) instead
              of (pattern).

       --timings percent
              Enables  the Amavis Scan Timings percentiles report.  The report
              can be top N-percent limited with the percent argument.

       --timings_percentiles `P1 [P2 ...]'
              Specifies the percentiles shown in the Scan Timings report.  The
              arguments  P1  ...  are integers from 0 to 100 inclusive.  Their
              order will be preserved in the report.

       --notimings
              Disables the Amavis Scan Timings report.

       --version
              Print amavis-logwatch version information.


   Level Limiters
       The output of every section in the Detailed report is controlled  by  a
       level  limiter.   The name of the level limiter variable will be output
       when the sect_vars option is set.  Level limiters are  set  either  via
       command  line in standalone mode with --limit limiter=levelspec option,
       or via configuration  file  variable  $amavis_limiter=levelspec.   Each
       limiter  requires  a  levelspec  argument,  which is described below in
       LEVEL CONTROL.

       The list of level limiters is shown below.


       Amavis major contents category (ccatmajor) sections, listed in order of
       priority: VIRUS, BANNED, UNCHECKED, SPAM, SPAMMY, BADH, OVERSIZED, MTA,

LEVEL CONTROL
       The Detailed section of the report consists of  a  number  of  sub-sec-
       tions,  each  of  which  is controlled both globally and independently.
       Two settings influence the output provided in the  Detailed  report:  a
       global detail level (specified with --detail) which has final (big ham-
       mer) output-limiting control over the Detailed section, and sub-section
       specific  detail  settings (small hammer), which allow further limiting
       of the output for a sub-section.  Each sub-section may be limited to  a
       specific  depth  level, and each sub-level may be limited with top N or
       threshold limits.  The levelspec argument to each of the level limiters
       listed above is used to accomplish this.

       It  is probably best to continue explanation of sub-level limiting with
       the following well-known outline-style hierarchy, and some basic  exam-
       ples:

           level 0
              level 1
                 level 2
                    level 3
                       level 4
                       level 4
                 level 2
                    level 3
                       level 4
                       level 4
                       level 4
                    level 3
                       level 4
                    level 3
              level 1
                 level 2
                    level 3
                       level 4

       The  simplest  form  of  output  limiting suppresses all output below a
       specified level.  For example, a levelspec set to "2" shows  only  data
       in  levels  0  through 2.  Think of this as collapsing each sub-level 2
       item, thus hiding all inferior levels (3, 4, ...), to yield:

           level 0
              level 1
                 level 2
                 level 2
              level 1
                 level 2

       Sometimes the volume of output in a section is too  great,  and  it  is
       useful  to  suppress  any data that does not exceed a certain threshold
       value.  Consider a dictionary spam attack, which produces very  lengthy
       lists  of  hit-once recipient email or IP addresses.  Each sub-level in
       the hierarchy can be threshold-limited by setting the levelspec  appro-
       priately.  Setting levelspec to the value "2::5" will suppress any data
       at level 2 that does not exceed a hit count of 5.

       Perhaps producing a top N list, such as top 10 senders, is desired.   A
       levelspec of "3:10:" limits level 3 data to only the top 10 hits.

       With  those simple examples out of the way, a levelspec is defined as a
       whitespace- or comma-separated list of one or more of the following:

       l      Specifies the maximum level to be output for  this  sub-section,
              with a range from 0 to 10.  if l is 0, no levels will be output,
              effectively disabling the sub-section (level 0 data  is  already
              provided  in  the  Summary  report, so level 1 is considered the
              first useful level in the Detailed report).  Higher values  will
              produce output up to and including the specified level.

       l.n    Same  as  above,  with the addition that n limits this section's
              level 1 output to the top n items.  The value for n can  be  any
              integer greater than 1.  (This form of limiting has less utility
              than the syntax shown below. It is provided for  backwards  com-
              patibility; users are encouraged to use the syntax below).

       l:n:t  This  triplet specifies level l, top n, and minimum threshold t.
              Each of the values are integers, with l being the level  limiter
              as described above, n being a top n limiter for the level l, and
              t being the threshold limiter for level l.  When both  n  and  t
              are  specified, n has priority, allowing top n lists (regardless
              of threshold value).  If the value of l is omitted,  the  speci-
              fied  values for n and/or t are used for all levels available in
              the sub-section.  This permits a simple form of wildcarding (eg.
              place  minimum  threshold  limits on all levels).  However, spe-
              cific limiters always override  wildcard  limiters.   The  first
              form  of  level limiter may be included in levelspec to restrict
              output, regardless of how many triplets are present.

       All three forms of limiters are effective only  when  amavis-logwatch's
       detail  level  is  5  or greater (the Detailed section is not activated
       until detail is at least 5).

       See the EXAMPLES section for usage scenarios.

CONFIGURATION FILE
       Amavis-logwatch can read configuration settings  from  a  configuration
       file.   Essentially,  any command line option can be placed into a con-
       figuration file, and these settings are read upon startup.

       Because amavis-logwatch can run either standalone or  within  Logwatch,
       to  minimize  confusion, amavis-logwatch inherits Logwatch's configura-
       tion file syntax requirements and conventions.  These are:

       o   White space lines are ignored.

       o   Lines beginning with # are ignored

       o   Settings are of the form:

                   option = value


       o   Spaces or tabs on either side of the = character are ignored.

       o   Any value protected in double quotes will be case-preserved.

       o   All other content is reduced  to  lowercase  (non-preserving,  case
           insensitive).

       o   All  amavis-logwatch  configuration  settings must be prefixed with
           "$amavis_" or amavis-logwatch will ignore them.

       o   When  running  under  Logwatch,  any  values  not   prefixed   with
           "$amavis_"  are consumed by Logwatch; it only passes to amavis-log-
           watch (via environment variable) settings it considers valid.

       o   The values True and Yes are converted to 1, and False  and  No  are
           converted to 0.

       o   Order  of  settings  is  not  preserved within a configuration file
           (since settings are passed by Logwatch via  environment  variables,
           which have no defined order).

       To  include  a  command line option in a configuration file, prefix the
       command line option name with the word "$amavis_".  The following  con-
       figuration file setting and command line option are equivalent:

               $amavis_Line_Style = Truncate

               --line_style Truncate

       Level limiters are also prefixed with $amavis_, but on the command line
       are specified with the --limit option:

               $amavis_SpamBlocked = 2

               --limit SpamBlocked=2



       The order of command line options  and  configuration  file  processing
       occurs  as  follows:  1)  The  default configuration file is read if it
       exists and no --config_file was specified on a command line.   2)  Con-
       figuration  files are read and processed in the order found on the com-
       mand line.  3) Command line options override any  options  already  set
       either via command line or from any configuration file.

       Command  line options are interpreted when they are seen on the command
       line, and later options will override previously set options.



EXIT STATUS
       The amavis-logwatch utility exits with a status code of  0,  unless  an
       error occurred, in which case a non-zero exit status is returned.

EXAMPLES
   Running Standalone
       Note:  amavis-logwatch reads its log data from one or more named Amavis
       log files, or from STDIN.  For brevity, where  required,  the  examples
       below   use  the  word  file  as  the  command  line  argument  meaning
       /path/to/amavis.log.  Obviously you will need to substitute  file  with
       the appropriate path.

       To run amavis-logwatch in standalone mode, simply run:

           amavis-logwatch file

       A complete list of options and basic usage is available via:

           amavis-logwatch --help

       To print a summary only report of Amavis log data:

           amavis-logwatch --detail 1 file

       To produce a summary report and a one-level detail report for May 25th:

           grep 'May 25' file | amavis-logwatch --detail 5

       To produce only a top 10 list of Sent email domains, the summary report
       and detailed reports are first disabled. Since  commands  line  options
       are  read  and enabled left-to-right, the Sent section is re-enabled to
       level 1 with a level 1 top 10 limiter:

           amavis-logwatch --nosummary --nodetail \
              --limit spamblocked '1 1:10:' file

       The following command and its sample output shows a more complex  level
       limiter  example.   The command gives the top 4 spam blocked recipients
       (level 1), and under with each recipient the top 2 sending  IPs  (level
       2)  and finally below that, only envelope from addresses (level 3) with
       hit counts greater than 6.  Ellipses indicate top N  or  threshold-lim-
       ited data:

           amavis-logwatch --nosummary --nodetail \
                   --limit spamblocked '1:4: 2:2: 3::6' file

   Running within Logwatch
       Note:  Logwatch  versions  prior to 7.3.6, unless configured otherwise,
       required the --print option to  print  to  STDOUT  instead  of  sending
       reports  via  email.  Since version 7.3.6, STDOUT is the default output
       destination, and the --print option has been replaced by --output  std-
       out.  Check your configuration to determine where report output will be
       directed, and add the appropriate option to the commands below.

       To print a summary report for today's Amavis log data:

           logwatch --service amavis --range today --detail 1

       To print a report for today's Amavis log data, with one level
       of detail in the Detailed section:

           logwatch --service amavis --range today --detail 5

       To print a report for yesterday, with  two  levels  of  detail  in  the
       Detailed section:

           logwatch --service amavis --range yesterday --detail 6

       To  print  a report from Dec 12th through Dec 14th, with four levels of
       detail in the Detailed section:

           logwatch --service amavis --range \
                   'between 12/12 and 12/14' --detail 8

       To print a report for today, with all levels of detail:

           logwatch --service amavis --range today --detail 10

       Same as above, but leaves long lines uncropped:

           logwatch --service amavis --range today --detail 11

   Amavis Log Level
       Amavis provides additional log information when the variable $log_level
       is  increased  above  the default 0 value.  This information is used by
       the amavis-logwatch utility to provide additional reports,  not  avail-
       able  with  the  default $log_level=0 value.  A $log_level of 2 is sug-
       gested.

       If you prefer not to increase the noise level  in  your  main  mail  or
       Amavis logs, you can configure syslog to log Amavis' output to multiple
       log files, where basic log entries are routed to your main mail  log(s)
       and more detailed entries routed to an Amavis-specific log file used to
       feed the amavis-logwatch utility.

       A convenient way to accomplish this is to change the Amavis  configura-
       tion variables in amavisd.conf as shown below:

           amavisd.conf:
               $log_level = 2;
               $syslog_facility = 'local5';
               $syslog_priority = 'debug';


       This  increases  $log_level  to  2, and sends Amavis' log entries to an
       alternate syslog facility (eg. local5, user), which can then be  routed
       to one or more log files, including your main mail log file:

           syslog.conf:
               #mail.info                         -/var/log/maillog
               mail.info;local5.notice            -/var/log/maillog

               local5.info                        -/var/log/amavisd-info.log


       Amavis'  typical  $log_level  0  messages will be directed to both your
       maillog and to the amavisd-info.log file, but  higher  $log_level  mes-
       sages will only be routed to the amavisd-info.log file.  For additional
       information on Amavis' logging, search the file  RELEASE_NOTES  in  the
       Amavis distribution for:

           "syslog priorities are now dynamically derived"


ENVIRONMENT
       The  amavis-logwatch  program  uses  the  following (automatically set)
       environment variables when running under Logwatch:

       LOGWATCH_DETAIL_LEVEL
              This is the detail level specified  with  the  Logwatch  command
              line argument --detail or the Detail setting in the ...conf/ser-
              vices/amavis.conf configuration file.

       LOGWATCH_DEBUG
              This is the debug level specified with the Logwatch command line
              argument --debug.

       amavis_xxx
              The  Logwatch program passes all settings amavis_xxx in the con-
              figuration file ...conf/services/amavis.conf to the amavis  fil-
              ter  (which  is  actually named .../scripts/services/amavis) via
              environment variable.
